        About this project!
    </h2>
    <p class="MsoNormal">
        <span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">I have 
        created an interactive, content driven web site targeted at the weight-loss 
        community and stakeholders in health, dieting and related fields. The website 
        allows users to register their membership, create detailed profiles and upload 
        their photos including current height, weight and desired weight details before 
        embarking on their weight loss journey. </span>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
    <span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">The website 
    helps users to keep track of their weight loss journeys providing an opportunity 
    for them to post their before and after pictures at regular intervals including 
    techniques and actions which they undertook to achieve their weight loss 
    progress. The website essentially helps users keep a journal of their 
    weight-loss progress. Users are able to log-into the website to view the 
    comprehensive weight-loss progress for their profiles and for those of other 
    users, make comments on the weight-loss progress of other users and update their 
    own progress levels including the upload of new sets of pictures and changes in 
    their weight and rate or like the profiles of other users on the basis of their 
    weight-loss journeys. </span>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
    <span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">The website 
    collects data about such ratings and provides a section that lists the most 
    highly rated weight loss profiles. It also includes a section that lists the
    <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal">most active users</b>,
    <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal">most recent comments</b> and
    <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal">newest users or profiles</b>. User 
    interaction is vital to encourage continued user activity and content creation. 
    Through a commenting facility, users are able to engage in discussion about 
    their weight loss journeys, discuss challenges and successes and provide 
    feedback about various issues including diets and exercise plans. Various 
    utilities will be included in the website to allow the calculation of
    <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal">Body Mass Index (BMI), conversion of 
    weights and heights from one measurement system to another e.g. standard to 
    metric, and updates on the most active users within specified periods of time</b>.
    </span>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
    <span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">Really 
    Simple Syndication (RSS) has been implemented in the website as well as a 
    tagging facility for all content. To further enhance user interest in the 
    websites content, an ‘Articles’ section has been created to provide regular 
    weight loss tips and weight-loss success stories. Depending on a user’s activity 
    level, e.g. Number of updates to their profile or number of comments and ratings 
    made, users are different user levels based on accumulated points with the most 
    active users being assigned higher rights once logged into the website. Once 
    logged into the website, users are able to
    <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal">customize the look and feel of their 
    profile pages and communicate to other users through comments and articles.</b>
